# REPLICATION ARCHIVE

This replication archive contains all data and scripts to replicate the analysis in "Republican-Majority Appellate Panels Increase Execution Rates for Capital Defendants".

## DATA

The main data files for our study are:

- final_4_df.csv
- final_5_df.csv
- final_6_df.csv
- final_7_df.csv
- final_8_df.csv
- final_9_df.csv
- final_10_df.csv

These contain the data we collected on the judges hearing each case, the disposition of the case, the name of the defendant, and whether they were ultimately executed.

- fjcdata.txt

This contains the version of the Biographical Directory of Article III Federal Judges used for our analysis (https://www.fjc.gov/history/judges/biographical-directory-article-iii-federal-judges-export)

- chief_judge_party_by_circuit.csv

This contains data on the partisanship of the President appointing the Chief Judge in each circuit in each year, which is used in an appendix calculation.

- surnames2000.RData

This includes data on surname by race from Khanna and Imai

## SCRIPT

The script "analysis.R" will run all analysis to generate estimates, tables and figures for the manuscript and appendix.  To run this script in R, the working directory should be set to the directory containing all files in the replication archive.  This will create a set of further text and image files in the same directory as the data and script.
